Boebert, the US representative for Colorado's third congressional district, repeated the conspiracy theory in a post on X/Twitter while discussing Tuesday's (10 September) televised debate between the former president and vice-president Kamala Harris.
During the debate, Trump picked up on and ran with the wild internet claims about Haitian migrants in Ohio supposedly abducting other people's pets and eating them. There is no evidence for the story and local authorities in the area have insisted more than once that no cases have been reported.
Social media users weren't buying Colorado representative Boebert's claims. 'Wow, you're all really that crazy,' one person wrote, while another said: 'You are so dumb.'
The conspiracy theory first arose earlier this month with right-wing pundits targeting the Haitian community in Springfield, which has a population of about 58,000. The rumors were unsupported and stemmed from a dubious source.
